Height of a closed select (combo box)
erez
I need to set the height of a closed select (combo box). From what I
see the CSS height style doesn't work on select tag in IE5.5. It is
very strange since it works in Netscape 6 and it works for input tags.
The only thing that affects the select height is the text font size.
Surrounding the select with a div tag with overflow:hidden, makes
things better, however I prefer another way.
Does anyone have a solution or a workaround?
Thanks,
Erez
Here is a reproduction: select VS edit.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<select style="height: 18; font-family: Courier New; font-size:
20px;">
<option>First</option>
<option>Second </option>
<option>Third</option>
</select>
<input type="edit" style="height: 18; font-family: Courier New;
font-size: 20px;"/>
</body>
</html>

size="18" to the select tag.

Erez:
If I'm not wrong, size > 1 makes the combo (select) always to be open
(dropped down), what I need, is to set the height of a closed combo.

Um actually I think you just might be wrong...I use it on my website and it
works fine.
